IndyCar switching to a NASCAR style rule in regards to red flags - teams will no longer be allowed to work on a car while the race is under red

All 13 full-time entries are already accounted for (5 Andretti, 3 Ganassi, 2 RLLR, 2 Coyne, 1 Shank), which for those on Hinch Watch ties in with Miller's assertion that whatever may be on the table is a part-time offer, perhaps similar to what Shank did last year.

As the tweet implies, there are 2 "spare" leases for the 500 now that SPAM has moved and Shank is full time.

More 500 chatter from Fryer;



Not sure where the best Chevy opening is. Maybe SPAM.

I think we can find a sponsor, but do I roll the dice, sign him and then hope to get it funded?


Just get him to pay for it himself, he's rich enough.

Marshall fills in some of the blanks regarding the final grid; https://racer.com/2020/01/09/pruett-pie ... ycar-grid/

The tl;dr -

-Foyt will be running 2 cars full-time with at least 3 and possibly 4 drivers; TK, DK and Kimball are just about inked in and Seabass has come back into the frame as well for at least some races.
-Carlin still has no formal plans beyond an expectation that they will be running 2 full-time cars again.
-Coyne will apparently be running a 3rd car from their stable at Indy in addition to the Byrd\Belardi\Hollinger car which is already entered for James Davison. Hinch is an early name touted.
-Ben Hanley is the favourite to return with DragonSpeed although Colin Braun is also being considered for the oval races that they are contesting.
-Juncos is looking more positive than they did this time last year although no schedule is currently being ventured.
-Alonso may be sticking around for some more races after Indy.
-If Kyle Busch does find a seat for the 500 it will not be a 5th Penske car.

Pippa doesn't seem that hopeful of getting a ride for Indy. Been a while since we've had a 500 without any women racing.

The relationship between CGR and Huski Chocolate will be overseen by former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Stanton Barrett, the CEO of Huski Chocolate Americas.


So that's what he's doing nowadays.

also looking likely that Clauson/Marshall will not attempt the 500 this year & will be focusing on their Midget & Sprint Car efforts

He still does stunt work & runs the odd-ball NASCAR Race at times too

I'm really surprised, I always thought NASCAR was his eventual goal
